Wishful thinking on your part if you ask me, people buying the base model aren't going to care about the IRS or the high hp v6 they are going to care about looks and price.

As far as your last sentance i think you should take a hard look in the mirror.

If you think 300hp vs. 210hp doesnt weigh into the minds of people buying he v6 then i think its you who is living in an alternate reality.

Except that the current V6 in the Mustang is soon be replaced with a twin turbo LLT smoker.

Expect to see Ecoboost sixes in Mustangs around 2011.

the ecoboost will make it into the mustang in 2011, but it will NOT be the base mustang. dont be suprised to see the 4.0 still as the base engine

There may be a small increase, but I don't think it will be enough to put it over the Camaro. Ford's not stupid, they've played this game before.

Yeah. I forgot to say that.

What do you consider a small increase. With the price difference between the two the Camaro is a small increase over the Mustang. With the upgrade in powertrain you can bet there will be no difference between the two. There will be no added weight to the Mustang, and there will be a power increase to the engines just how much of one is anyones guess. Until all the numbers are in print you are spouting rumors, nothing more. My internet rumor is that there will be alot more unhappy Mustang fans when all the new information is released.

Nope, first when people are buying a coupe they want something sporty, relatively quick, fuel effiecient, rides nice to work and back, and looks good.

Styling is subjective, But when it comes to Performance and Fuel effieciency and Ride the camaro has the base mustang beat.

Mustang: 17/25 mpg
Camaro: 18/27 mpg

Mustang: 210 hp
Camaro: 304 hp

Mustang: SRA
Camaro IRS
True your average car owner does not know the difference between a SRA and IRS, but it does not matter because when driven they will notice that the camaro rides better on everyday bumpy roads, while offering more Hp and superior fuel economy to boot.

I own a 2007 Mustang GT and I'm not a big fan of the look of the 2010 .. althoughI do like the Grabber Blue (although it would look better on the '05 -09 S197s

I'm keeping my stang and can't wait for my camaro to come in!

here's a few pics of my '07

I'm pretty sure the 3.5 N/A will replace the 4.0 in 2011. So it will have 265hp or so. Less than the Camaro but it will weigh less also.

One more thing you and everyone else has forgotten is the new upcoming safety features. The 2010 Mustang does not have all of the new safety features that the feds require all cars to have installed before 2012, the Camaro already has these. These safety features add a couple hundred pounds and added cost to the car. By the time Ford gets around to adding these into the Mustang, the difference in weight and cost will practically disappear. Come 2011 model year with the new safety features, new engine, and any other upgrades that Ford may do, do not be surprised if the 300 pound weight difference drops to below 100 pounds and instead of a $600-$700 difference in cost, it's just a couple hundred.

No doubt that those of us who frequent boards like this pay attention to 300 HP vs. 210 HP.

But I think a lot of buyers of the base versions of these cars would be more than happy with 200 HP, and might actually be frightened away by 300 HP. I sometimes wonder if Chevy isn't shooting itself in the foot by making the V6 so powerful. Guys (like me) who might otherwise have purchased the far more profitable V8 will be happy with the V6 at 300 HP. And the V6 has so much good stuff at it's price point that I'd be shocked if Chevy will make a dime on them. Good for us. Not so good for Chevy.
